Happiness in a Shoe

Big Boy needed shoes and I finally took him to the Clarks store to get fitted for some comfortable, proper shoes.  The store was sold out of most of the styles that he wanted in his size, but luckily I found a pair of trainers that he adores on the clearance rack.  They were only £15 (the regular priced shoes range from about £30 to £35) and they fit him really well.  They also come with a toy in the heel.  I have taken some pictures because it is tough to explain.

The insides of the shoes pull up to reveal a compartment with the 2 toys.
I think this will be disgusting after sweaty little feet have been wearing the shoes.

Here are the 2 toys together.

Here are the 2 toys separately.

He absolutely adores the new shoes.  There is only one problem – I think they are hideous!  I wanted him to get brown leather loafers…. 


As a footnote, he has been wearing the shoes for a while now and we have decided that the toys will stay out - no more digging through sweaty insoles!
